    Got my hopes up this week that maybe Espressif had added Bluetooh Auracast broadcast audio support to more of their chips.

    Spent the afternoon experimenting with the upshot of opening an issue deep in their github libraries to ask for support for the ESP32C3 to be added 😞

    Which is progress (because I can go back to my Nordic nRF version) but it doesn't really feel like it 😄

    @amcewen ESP32-C3 is BLE 5.0. Auracast was introduced in 5.2. I don't know how it is implemented, but if it requires hardware level functionality, it just isn't there.

    @algaeman indeed, but Nordic have updated the nRF52 range to support the newer versions of BLE, so at least in some cases it seems to be a software-only thing.
